This worked!!! They had layer boundaries AND brush size set to use same key command. I turned off the shortcuts for layer boundaries in the “tools” shortcut window.

Thank you, poliwog. You really have to wonder how a developer could assign the left and right bracket keys to new functions without realizing the impact to the rest of PS. Probably not someone who actually uses PS.

Neither resizing of tools, no resetting of tools works.  I cannot change the size of any tool (up or down, larger or smaller) and in this version there doesn't appear to be a way to reset the tools ... individually or collectively.  What am I missing?  In the previous versions these items worked just fine.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

For some crazy reason in the latest update the layer boundries shortcut was assigned to the bracket keys as well as brush size ... if you delete the layer boundry shortcut they work to resize the brush again

Several Adobe apps use the [ ] shortcuts. Much of the time when keyboard shortcuts stop working, it's because another app has taken them over. It could be a browser.

 

Try this:

  • reboot your computer
  • confirm that no apps are running 
  • launch only the app that has this issue and test again

Let us know if this works.

I downloaded latest Photoshop Beta today. Square brackets no longer resizes brushes. Shift+square brackets still changes hardness.

Everything still works on normal Photoshop, so I assume a program error .

Hi guys

 

I am working on a M3 max macbookpro and since the update of 25.11.0 my shortcuts for brushsize do not work anymore. In my settings I left all to default and asigning them again will not do the job. Starting up Photoshop 25.9.1 works perfect. Has anybody the same issues here? Or found a solution? 

 

Thx in advance

Silvan
